This episode was so beautiful and emotional and I loved it. I was seriously tearing up at the end when Chihaya went out on stage and couldn't sing but everyone came out and supported her. Then when her younger self and little brother showed up I really started crying, I just couldn't help it. You could tell how tormented she'd been by the accident and his death and once she was able to sing again and smile while doing so you really felt as if she'd finally found closure.

This is one of the best episodes of the show in my opinion.

Wow definitely the best episode so far. The song at the final brought me to tears.
I have no signature at the moment. Cute Ika-musume avatar should be more than enough~

I hope we see a smiling ang cheerful Chihaya next episode. Lot's of good comments and great reviews about the episode.

Lots of people have commented on youtube on how epic it is! Idolmaster is getting even more popular now.

Finally catched up with the anime.
Great show. Only 5 Episodes left (for now - hope there will be another season) *sob*
Best episode so far! Great song!

Well, now it's 100x5/5
100 is a nice number. :D
Amounting to 500 points for this episode. Definitely deserves it.

Damn. This is as close to crying as an anime has brought me in quite some time. Probably not since CLANNAD/After story. Truly a touching story, and what a set of pipes on that girl!

Honestly, I'd be perfectly happy if the series ended right here. But luckily there's still another 5 episodes to go. How are they going to top this one?

24 minutes of non-stop dancing and singing. :P

If anything, I want the finale to make A-1 Pictures bankrupt in production valuez.

Problem was the beginning was slow and a lot different from what its become. Many people simply rated it low and left the series before it got better, hence a lot of low scores are stuck in there that probably won't be changed unless people hear it being talked about and decide to give it a second chance.

If it follows the game, it actually has the potential to be emotional too, though not necessarily topping this episode.

At least it wasn't over exaggerated. :D

You've got a point, I did however think that the size of her tears were extremely exaggerated. Those were probably the biggest tears I've ever seen. Kind of distracted me during the emotional moment..

Anime tears always ruin everything.

I've come to realize Idolmaster is a deceptive show at times. Sure, there's all the moe and fluff and it has its boring and generic episodes, but really, for the most part it's a good anime. At first, I actually went into Idolmaster thinking it was going to be a harem ridden with fanservice. Not sure why I thought that...
Glad to know I was wrong on that part. And with this, it culminated with an amazingly directed episode. Chihaya's performance was wonderfully done. What a strong and powerful voice.

Yeah, not gonna lie. I cried a little.
